Wall Break
Once you've got the opponent cornered, landing more attacks will break the stage wall, sending the opponent flying to the next area in a thrilling cinematic.
In addition to dealing extra damage, Wall Break grants your character temporary buffs, such as added attack power.
Roman Cancel
Roman Cancel sends out a shockwave while canceling your attack, and causes slow-down for the opponent on hit.
Use it while on offense to overwhelm the opponent, and as a means to escape the opponent's attacks while on defense. Depending on how it's used, Roman Cancel can open up further depth to the gameplay!
Psych Burst
Psych Burst gets you out of trouble at the cost of 100% of the Burst Gauge.
When used during the opponent's combo, you can send them flying back, ending their combo.
Overdrives
Overdrives are powerful special moves that cost half of the Tension Gauge.
Deal massive damage with seamlessly integrated, exciting cinematics!
COUNTER BLITZ
When you land a counter hit, you can spend 50% of the Burst Gauge to unleash a follow-up attack.
During Counter Blitz, Psych Burst cannot be used, but it allows you to deal solid damage with ease.
If performed against an opponent near the corner, it will always result in a wall break.
Please note that it cannot be activated from counter hits caused by jabs such as P or K, nor from normal or special moves that cannot be canceled.
Deflect Shield
A unique blocking mechanic added in Season 3, activated at the cost of half of the Burst gauge. It creates space between the player and opponent when used to block an attack. This is an excellent tool to escape a relentless offense.
